Starbound gets a big update which is all about space!

A big update to Starbound just dropped 1.3 which adds a bunch of stuff around space exploration and building space stations http://playstarbound.com/spacefarer-update/

Now you can build your own space station! There is also space exploration and finding stations in space to trade with, explore and fight. To do all this that added customizable mechs that work in space and on planet...

Lots of new fun stuff to do and explore. I'm excited about playing around with this new update!

Song of the Deep by Insomniac

Insomniac Games recently announced a new title they're releasing this summer "Song of the Deep". I really enjoy almost every Insomniac release (especially Ratchet and Clank) so I follow them closely and now I'm eagerly awaiting this "Metroidvania-style underwater adventure"

GOG Summer Sale

GOG's summer sale started today. http://www.gog.com/ Lots of flash deals, daily deals, and other deals. Thinking about picking up some fun older stuff, or lots of cool new stuff...

Looks like they are getting in just before the Steam sale. :)

What are you thinking about picking up?

I was thinking about Ether One, thought it looked interesting. I've been meaning to pick up Beyond Good & Evil for PC, and heard that the GoG file is better supported than the Steam version (I have no idea if that's true or not).

Beyond Good & Evil is a great game (in case you never played it before).

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/13/2014 at 08:52pm

I have, and I agree! I mostly just wanted access to play it on PC, rather than hook up my Xbox 360 or Wii.

The Roller Coaster Tycoon deal is great. I have 1 & 2 on CD but to get them digitally... it's tempting.

So many great deals here. The D&D masterset is great too, if you don't already have it(which I do).

Oh ya! Just picked up the Might and Magic RPG collection. See, I had a Sega, not a SNES and I played a lot of Might and Magic 3... was a great RPG and some of these others look awesome! $8.50 for 10 games... yes plz thnk you

Considering the Thief pack...but worried the graphics will hold me back on that style of FPS/stealth game. Especially after I have the new one. Some games graphics don't matter, some games they do...

JaBo wrote on 06/18/2014 at 08:42pm

Eh... I got it too, I'm a sucker for a good deal lol. Plus, I like the idea of expanding my digital collection outside of Steam.

It is hard to go back and play some 3D games with dated graphics. Much easier to revisit 2D games this way. The Thief games are solid, though, if you can look beyond graphics.

Picked up Ether One, and Omikron: Nomad Soul (talk about awesomely dated 3D graphics), and Magrunner is free right now! Always wanted to try that Portal-esque game out. I didn't realize that Omikron was from David Cage, of Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit fame. Anxious to dig into that.

I agree some games are hard to go back to now. Some are timeless, but many from the PS era haven't aged well.

JaBo wrote on 06/18/2014 at 10:31pm

Minor correction, but it was Might and Magic II (not III) that I played on Sega. And it was one of the best...so I'm looking forwarding to trying some of these others. I installed an emulator on my phone and was playing 2 again and it was still quite playable for me. 2D graphics are much easier to handle than bad 3D graphics.

Great js13k game -- Radius Raid

http://js13kgames.com/games/radius-raid/__big.jpg

What's a js13k game you ask? Well it's a javascript game that is less that 13kb big... This one clocks in at 13,278 bytes.

It's a fun shooter reminiscent of asteroids with powerups and multiple enemy types.

So... Go... Play... now... :)

Humble Weekly Sale - 1C Company

https://d1wh43egtz3cgo.cloudfront.net/promotion_images/0508/3222/original/1C_games.jpg

"This week, pay what you want for King’s Bounty: The Legend, King’s Bounty: Armored Princess, Men of War, and Men of War: Red Tide. If you pay more than the average, you’ll also receive King’s Bounty: Crossworlds and Men of War: Assault Squad - Game of the Year Edition!" https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

I've always wanted to pick up and play the King's Bounty games, and now it's at a can't beat price. Here's the review I read years ago prompting me to keep this on my radar. In his words "It’s also gloriously ridiculous and constantly inventive." I mean you battle with your belt to upgrade it... http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/10/02/kings-bounty-my-zombie-wife-the-belt-odoom/

Printing with Tetris

I love this kind of thing... It merges two of my favorite things programming (specifically algorithms) and gaming.

http://meatfighter.com/tetrisprinteralgorithm/

Using tetris pieces and rules to print out pixel images. The video gives you the feel for it, and the link goes into a ton of detail :)

New Indie Royale bundle out

Another bundle site which I buy from every now and then... But this bundle is great! All Arcen games. So there's AI War: Fleet Command and 5 dlc packs for it, A Valley Without Wind 1 and 2, Shattered Haven and Tidalis.

Everything is on steam and desura (along with direct download) except for the latest AI War dlc which isn't on steam (I'm hoping it will be).
